Midnight clock
By Akira
tangible stillness
you’re
stuck
midnight
in hand gesture and hue
you’re losing momentum
losing motivation
we’ve lost track of time
lost time with you
you struggled and slowed and watched the world grow from your window
the view from your place
clamped to the wall
frozen corporeally
you struggled to keep in line
with hearts beating
hands moving
worlds racing
to meet in the middle
at midnight
